I have a 130 gallon aquarium that has been established for around 10 years without issues and I’ve been wanting to get new fish so I’ve sold all my fish except for my yellow tang

I have one issue is keeping the fish compatible with a bubble tip anemone

I was thinking a lionfish but I’m not sure if that could work with the tangs or the anemones so my question is

What fish would you recommend for me in this situation
 
Most fish will stay away from anemones if healthy. Bubble tips are pretty hardy and I have not found any of my fish to bother it. CLowns (will be hosted eventually-usually), damsels, engineer goby. rabbitfish, puffer-toby, yellow tang, kole tang, foxface, copperbanded, wrasses, anthias, cardinals, etc.

What are you wanting?
 
I'd say naturally most people combine anemones with clownfish. They aren't threatened by the anemones' sting and it's fun to watch them hosting
 
I’m really not sure I would like for the fish to be somewhat easy to care for but I am also not sure on a budget but I will probably go for a community type thing with a pair of clowns and a coral beauty and more but I’m also open to a predator fish like a lionfish

Also I am not sure if this is relevant but the aquariums rock formation is setup for an eel with lots of hiding places in the rocks
 
I have a 400 dollar budget for my fish so I was thinking what about a larger lionfish or would I have issues with the yellow tang
